Wash your hands and go to Solar Fest anyway

Were you thinking of ditching your Saturday plans for Solar Fest just because of a little swine flu circulating in Texas?

The folks at Solar San Antonio would like to reassure you that they’ve talked to doctors who say that attending the all-day festival at Maverick Park is not risky. (Unless you arrive in a Hummer, in which case I bet you would get LOTS of dirty looks. Kinda like these reporters on Hummer test drive.)

“The open-air venue of Maverick Park’s Solar Fest will include precautionary measures such as hand washing stations and hand sanitizers throughout the park to address health concerns related to the flu,” a Solar San Antonio press release says.
